Basic Marine Operations

Customized training for professional marine services
Designed for new recruits or entry level crews, this course develops individual seamanship skills and places them into the context of marine competencies so teams may learn to use their equipment and vessels to manage situations. By starting at the basic skill components like seamanship, navigation, radar theory and plotting VMT builds the abilities of the crew members individually and then cooperatively. When the teams are ready to progress, VMT will set up challenging scenarios for the boat teams to work through in realistic settings.

This course introduces enforcement and insertion teams into the marine environment. Team members go through normal vessel operational procedures and theory and work with the VMT Instructor crews to assess threat situations and make operational plans suitable to the marine environment. Crews are then given scenarios using different vessels in the local client area to assess and solve. These scenarios involve boarding local vessels under the supervision of expert marine tactics and boarding instructors.
